The Supreme Court does not make law. Only congress and states can. Congress can negate any Supreme Court decision

Congress cannot overrule a Supreme Court decision. The decision is the interpretation of the law. Congress can change the law that the court decided upon, or amend a portion of the Constitution, but it cannot ignore the ruling of the court.

Congress can only propose an amendment, not amend. That's up to the states.
